AFRAID OF BEING ANNOYED
Car Drivers Unwilling to Risk Trouble
with the Strikers on Sunday.
In Consequence, Only Eight Cars We're Run
Conductors Likely To Be Placed ON
the MISUNDERSTANDING Line.

The street car service. yesterday was limited
to eight cars. Whether this can be attributed to
the growth of the strike, or to a desire OF the
company to save the drivers from much an
noyance possible is hard to answer. Both the
company and the strikers have their explana-
tions OF the fewness of cars. They were run
only Pennsylvania and Illinois streets and
Massachusetts avenue, and that from half
hour to an hour apart. It is claimed
by the strikers that when the
men reported yesterday morning all
refused to drive until the difficulty settled.
They did not join the strikers, but declined to
work simply to give them the benefit of the in
fluence such action might have. Manager Steele
states. however, that all of the men would have
taken out had they been requested to do
30. II being Sunday, there was likelihood OF
idlers gathering along the streets to annoy the
drivers. hence it was not urged on the men to
go to work. AS it was. those who drove
were greeted and then with
insulting remarks, but the company does not
charge this to the strikers. Colonel johnson,
Manager Steele ard Foreman Lewis alike say
the strikers have treated the drivers we'll Per-
sons who in manner inteses.ed in the
strike did the hoo.ing. shouting and threatening.
During the day the Strikers through their
committees, were busy IN persuading the other
drivers to identify themselves with their claims
This pressure is being made on those who drive
from the West-street stables, among them
more knights of Labor than at the other
stables. But it does not appear that they met
with any success one OF the strikers said
that only the original seventy We're actively sup
porting the struggle. It was hoped tina; Willetts
Assem- bly, would order them out at its meeting
on Saturday night. but it did not. This leaves
the strikers alone with their own temporary
eanizaton, the majority in which is made up of
non union men, 1t is expected to influence the
Central Trades Union to ndorse the strike. A
meeting of that organization will be held to-
night, but in the meantime a committee will
wait on Colonel johnson to see If some compro-
mise can DE reached.
It is probable another feature which will tend
to secure a settlement will appear at the Council
meeting tonight A resolution has been pre-
pared to be presented to that body looking to
the enforcement of ordinances requiring conduct
ors. 1t Is the opinion of the city attorney that
the company can be required put conductors
at least on the Observation-Disclosures cars. 1t is
intimated that if this is done, Colonel johnson
will have the ordinances obeyed. and in that
event it is probable the strikers will recede from
their demand for an increase Of wages.

awhat Are We Here For?"

W. P. Fishback delivered "a Lay Sermon" at
Plymouth Church last evening. His discourse
was suggested by the question, what are we
here forl" the question asked by Mr.. Flanagan,
of Texas, but used by Mr.. Fishback for another
purpose than that intended by the gentleman
who made 1T immortal He said it is a solemn
thought that wherever we may be. and what
ever we may be busying ourselves about,
have ourselves for company. The first thing a
reasonable human being should Sc. himself
about is to make himself Interesting to him
sci. and useful to others possible. It is all
in the stand point A life may be wrecked by
mistake in the estimate of the relations of
things. in the proportions and values that are
assigned to them. No progress is made the
right direction without correct aims and bear
ings. A is worth more than the
things he busies himself about Mans first
duty is to consider how TO make the most and
the best of himself. DR.. Johnson's advice to q
reformer was to reform himself and then he
would DO sure that the world had one less scoun-
dre in il. AS personal practical matter it
would be well to address ourselves to this task
with all diligence. In times past philosophy

A Less ON on Law and Order.

sLaw and Order" was the subject of Rev. G.
G. Mitchells sermon yesterday morning at the
Fifth Presbyterian Church. There q good
attendance. and the sermon was impressive. Mr.
Mitchell took as his text:
Twill put my laws into their hearts and in their
minds win write them. Hebrews K, 16.
He said that God saves no one outside of law.
The character and welfare of humanity depend
on the law Of God. Law is everywhere. The
universe is a great law book. The gospel is a
law. Although men are saved freely, yet they
are not without law. Law is for the purpose Of
moral training. 1t does this on the principle of
limitation The earliest statutes are prohib-
itory. People never be taught TO govern
themselves until they are made to feel the power
of restraint. Gods first dealing with man was
prohibitory. Then came Moses and his system.
To the Hebrew the law and the prophets were
everything; their decisions were final The way
to improve humanity is 20 have the divine com
mands pass into the heart. The beauty and
grandeur of the national Constitution and
Declaration Of Independence are seen in the
character of people. It is sacred law because
it defines char acter. So it is with tn Ten Com
mandments. So is is with the Lords Prayer
The practical question Is, how to regulate the
great evils in society Professional reformers
suggest many plans. They begin with discus
sion, carry it on through agitation. organization,
party and legislation. Then they stop. Look
at the wrecked laws on the statute books. Take
the law against swearing How rarely is it en-
forced Why2 Because Gods name is not rev.
erenced by the people SO as to sustain the execu-
ton of the law. 1t is so with intemperance.
How stop itl" is the cry. Law is a popular
way. But the real ground Of hope is that tenn
perance shall be written in the hearts and minds
of the people fundamental law Make law
and then educate. Let the pulpit do its part.
Let the press do its duty. Teach the people
those principles and laws that regulate human
conduct. A great work can be done among the
children. No nation needs education more than
America. Law and doctrines are useless unless
they promote holy life To know the truth
and not obey it is only to aggravate misery
Christianity Is only thoroughly understood as
the heart feels it. Assimilation to Christ is the
perfection of manhood

Confucius lis he who does not lose his child's
heart" Our old townsman, Col James Blake,
happy when marshalng the
hosts Of city children who used to assemble
once a year for a May-day holiday.
The poet Realf. in his poetic fancy, fondling
little child, speaks with tenderest pathos of the
crime which he has committed in numbering
the child heart which once within him.
Money and fame are often the dearest and least
ENJOYABLE commodities a man buys. Once a man
at a prayer-meeting in this city made prayer
in which he said: 20 Lord. If many of us should
be thrown into spiritual bankruptcy estates
would net pay 10 cents on the dollar" It Is even
SO with some men. Infinitely worse than finan-
cial ruin is the estate of such an one. Making
our lives here as great and noble as may be is
the great thing after ALL That is the lesson to
get out of Christs teaching and example. Not
so much the glory of the church; not much
an increase in the number of those who pro-
nounce without lispne some sectarian shibDo-
1eth.

BURNING OF A BOX FACTORY.
A Fire of Unknown Origin Destroys Hershey
& TOusey's Establshment-Loss, $4,000.

The box factory of Hershey C Tousey, at the
corner OF St Clair and Missouri streets was
completely destroyed by FIRE between IL and
o'clock yesterday The FIRE originated in the
shavings room, and was first discovered by a
colored man, who was going up the canal. The
flames were then bursting out through the roof
There had been no fire about the building dur
ing the day. The engineer and his assistants
were engaged in cleaning the boiler when they
heard the cries of fire. and before they could
turn in an alarm and get the department there,
the whole building was blazing. AS Brunson &
SprIngers box factory is situated across the
street, and in great danger. second
alarm was turned in. All the fremen
could do was to protect the adjacent
buildings, and it took hard work to
save them. The warehouse of the firm adioins
the factory, and il 1t were several thousand dol
lars worth of manufactured boxes and lounges.
1t caught fire several times but by keeping
streams of water on the building 1t was saved.
The building burned contained ali the ma
chnery and great deal of unfinished stock.
Among the stuff destroyed the planed ma
terial for fifteen hundred boxes and 80 lounges,
and much other dressed material for various
uses. The machinery was nearly all made use
less. The company estimate their loss at Sc. 900.
and it may 60 higher than that. The stock and
machinery was insured for $4,000 in the
City of London company: The building
formerly belonged TO Russell g. Merrifeld.
but for some time has been in the hands OF
Charles E. Gates. of Massillon, O.. as receiver.
1t was valued at So, 900, and will have TO be en-
tirely rebuilt. 1t is insured in the Girard. OF
Pennsylvania. and the City of London companies
for 50, 900, divided equally between them. The
origin of the fire is unknown. The men at work
around the engineroom saw several boys about
the shavings room during the afternoon. and the
suppostion is that through some carelessness of
theirs the fire started. Messrs. Hershey 81
Tousey are undetermined yet as to what they
shall do. but will in all probability rebuild upon
the ground and continue their business.
